The middle-aged man was initially stunned, then crossed past Mrs. Li under her astonished gaze, and gripped Li Susu's shoulders.
Both excited and cautious, he asked, "Yuzhi?"
Li Susu was confused: "???"
She looked at Mrs. Li for help, who had recovered from her shock and, standing behind her, explained, "She is not Yuzhi, she is Li Susu."
Zongzheng Jie was a man with great self-control. After a brief emotional surge, he realized she wasn't Li Yuzhi and quickly regained his composure.
With an apologetic expression, he released Li Susu and stepped back, "I'm sorry; I mistook you for someone else."
"Uncle, the Yuzhi you were talking about …"
"An old acquaintance. You're Li Susu?"
"Yes, yes, I am… what I was just joking about with my friend, don't take it seriously, okay?"
If she hadn't resembled Li Yuzhi so much, with an uncanny likeness of around 50 to 60 percent, Zongzheng Jie might have already left.
